NYC’s First Horror Bookstore Is The Perfect Spooky Resource
Searching for a good scare? The Twisted Spine is pleased to point you in the proper direction…if you dare. NYC’s first horror bookstore might still be in its infancy, but Lauren Komer and Jason Mellow’s passion project has a bright future, even if the inventory consists of dark literature. Currently, the months-old NYC bookstore operates digitally, and its founders appear at pop-up literature events throughout the city, like the Brooklyn Book Festival. Already, Lauren says the appetite for the grisly and grotesque has been massive. “Horror is really in a wonderful renaissance right now, and the amount of diverse voices is incredible — all backgrounds, all walks of life, across all LGBT communities. It’s a great opportunity for people to jump in and a great opportunity for people who already love the genre to dive a little bit deeper,” she says.
